Macedo dives under Gravel with four laps left to win River Cities

Carson Macedo charged from ninth and dove under David Gravel with four laps remaining to win the 40-lap World of Outlaws feature at River Cities Speedway. He made the pass down the front straightaway in the first leg of the Northern Tour Don Mack Classic; Gravel countered with a slide job through Turns 3 and 4, but Macedo cleared him on the following circuit and pulled away to the checkered flag. Gravel finished second for his series-best 14th podium this season, while rookie Kasey Jedrzejek (Bill Rose Racing No. 6) scored his first career World of Outlaws podium in third. Chris Windom was fourth and Sheldon Haudenschild fifth. The victory moved Macedo into sole possession of second in the standings, cutting the gap to series leader David Gravel to 114 points and tightening the championship picture. It was Macedo’s 61st career World of Outlaws win and his third at River Cities Speedway, tying him with Craig Dollansky for the second-most wins at the quarter-mile facility. The result was Jason Johnson Racing’s third win of the season.
